I had to get my whip smoged this weekend and was a little bit worried about passing the sniffer. The inspector was really looking @ the catch can (a few times) but in the end, I received my certificate.

God Bless,
Robert

will a 2ndary cat delete for sure fail the smog test here in CA? I have heard conflicting reports. Here in LA with my other cars they never seem to really inspect anything, they just do the test. Is this more common in Nor Cal that they look at the engine bay and under the car?

A guy hooked me up last year. When I smogged my Acura, they didn't look. You only need one set of cats to pass the sniffer. Mine almost passed without any!

Nice... I'm always curious about the cats.... what if I don't have 1 of the 2 supposed cat that was installed in our car. Would it pass the sniffer if I'm missing one? It's been a hassle to get them back on to your car before you get your sniff test.
